Option Grants in Last Fiscal Year

The following table sets forth information concerning stock options granted to the Named Executive Officers during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. The grant date present values of stock options granted in 2002 are calculated under a modified Black-Scholes model, a mathematical formula used to value options. The actual amount, if any, realized upon exercise of stock options will depend upon the amount by which the market price of the Common Stock on the date of exercise exceeds the exercise price. The individuals named below will not be able to realize a gain from the stock options granted unless, during the exercise period, the market price of the Common Stock is above the exercise price of the options. The option holder would also benefit from an increase in the market price of Common Stock.

Name	Number of Securities Underlying Options	% of Total Options Granted To Employees in Fiscal Year		Exercise or Base Price ($/sh)		Expiration Date	Grant Date Present Value $(1)
Elton Alderman	500,000	34.1	%	$	0.11	4/01/07	$	50,000
Thomas C. Billstein	200,000	13.6	%	$	0.10	4/01/12	$	20,000
Nicholas M. Rosier	150,000	10.2	%	$	0.10	4/01/12	$	15,000

(1)

The modified Black-Scholes model used to calculate the hypothetical values at date of grant considers a number of factors to estimate the option’s present value, including the stock’s historic volatility calculated using the closing price of Common Stock, the estimated average holding period of the option, interest rates and the stock’s expected dividend yield. The assumptions used in the valuation of the options were: stock price volatility range of 71.5% – 355.7%, average holding period of 120 months, interest rate of 5.0% and no dividend yield.

There is no assurance that the grant date present values of stock options presented in the table above represent the actual values of the options, and the hypothetical values shown should not be construed as predictions of the future value of Common Stock.

Aggregated Option Exercises in Last Fiscal Year and Fiscal Year-End Option Values

The following table sets forth certain information regarding option exercises during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 by each of the Named Executive Officers:

	Shares Acquired on Exercise #	Value Realized ($)	Number of Securities Underlying Unexercised Options at Fiscal Year-End (#)		Value of Unexercised In-The-Money Options at Fiscal Year End ($)(1)
Name	Shares Acquired on Exercise #	Value Realized ($)	Exercisable	Unexercisable	Exercisable	Unexercisable
Elton Alderman	—	—	30,000	530,000	—	—
Thomas C. Billstein	—	—	22,500	222,500	—	—
Nicholas M. Rosier	—	—	48,750	181,250	—	—

(1)

Value is based on the closing sales price for the Common Stock as reported on the American Stock Exchange on December 31, 2002 (the “Fair Market Value”) minus the exercise price or base price of “in-the-money” options. The Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as of December 31, 2002 was $0.09 per share.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE

BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

During 2002, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors was comprised of Mr. McDermott and Mr. Orlandella. The following report on executive compensation is furnished by the Compensation Committee for the year ended December 31, 2002.

General Compensation Policy

The Company’s compensation policy is designed to attract and retain qualified key executives critical to the Company’s success and to provide such executives with performance-based incentives tied to the achievement of Company milestones. One of the primary objectives is to have a substantial portion of each executive officer’s total compensation contingent upon the Company’s performance as well as upon the individual’s contribution to the Company’s success as measured by his personal performance. Accordingly, each executive officer’s compensation package is comprised primarily of three elements: (i) base salary which reflects individual performance and expertise and is designed to be competitive with salary levels in the industry; (ii) variable performance awards payable in cash and tied to the Company’s achievement of certain goals; and (iii) long-term stock-based incentive awards which strengthen the mutuality of interests between the executive officers and the Company’s stockholders.

Factors

The principal factors which the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors considered in establishing the components of each executive officer’s compensation package for the 2002 fiscal year are summarized below. However, the Compensation Committee may in its discretion apply different factors, particularly different measures of financial performance, in setting executive compensation in future fiscal years.

Base Salary

The base salary levels for the executive officers were recommended by the Compensation Committee and established by the Board of Directors for the 2002 fiscal year on the basis of the following factors: personal performance, the estimated salary levels in effect for similar positions at a select group of companies with which the Company competes for executive talent, and internal comparability considerations. Although the Compensation Committee reviewed various compensation surveys, the Compensation Committee did not rely upon any specific survey for comparative compensation purposes. Instead, the Compensation Committee made its decisions as to the appropriate market level of base salary for each executive officer on the basis of its understanding of the salary levels in effect for similar positions at those companies with which the Company competes for executive talent. On January 21, 2000, the Committee approved employment agreements for the Chief Executive Officer and Vice President whereby the 2000 base salaries were $180,000 and $143,000, respectively. The agreements are for five year and four-year terms, respectively. The Compensation Committee is required to review the base salary on or before February 15 of each year to determine the increase in base salary for the ensuing year. In any event, the agreements provide that the increase shall be no less than 10% or 5%, respectively. Nothwithstanding the provisions of the agreements, these base salaries were not changed for 2002 and 2003. On June 1, 2000, the Committee approved an employment agreement for the Chief Financial Officer whereby the 2000 base salary was $100,000.

The Compensation Committee is required to review the base salary on or before June 1, of each year to determine the increase in base salary for the ensuing year. The base salary was changed effective June 1, 2002 to $110,000.

Annual Incentive Compensation

Executive officers have an opportunity to earn annual incentives based upon performance targets. The Compensation Committee may also award bonuses in cases where such performance targets are not met if it determines that the circumstances warrant such action. For fiscal year 2002, the performance targets for the executive officers included revenues, pre-tax profits and earnings per share. The weight given to each factor varied from individual to individual. Additionally, each executive officer has a discretionary portion of the annual incentive linked to achievement of non-financial goals, which differ depending upon the responsibilities of the executive officer in question.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

The 1997 Stock Incentive Plan also provides the Compensation Committee with the ability to align the interests of the executive officer with those of the stockholders and provide each individual with a significant incentive to manage the Company from the perspective of an owner with an equity stake in the business. The number of shares subject to each option grant is based upon the executive officer’s tenure, level of responsibility and relative position in the Company. Stock options totaling 1,482,500 shares were granted to employees and consultants, of which 850,000 shares were granted to the executive officers during 2002. The exercise price for the stock options is no less than the fair market value of the stock on the date of the grant. Options generally vest at a rate of 25% per year starting on the anniversary date of the option grant and are contingent upon the officer’s continued employment with the Company. Accordingly, the option will provide a return to the executive officer only if he or she remains in the Company’s employ and the market price of the Company’s Common Stock appreciates over the option term.

CEO Compensation

The Chief Executive Officer participates in the compensation program discussed above. The Compensation Committee set the base salary for Mr. Elton Alderman, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer for the 2002 fiscal year, based on his employment agreement and at a level which is designed to provide him with a salary competitive with salaries paid to chief executive officers of similarly-sized companies in the industry and commensurate with Mr. Alderman’s experience. The Compensation Committee did not award an incentive payment to Mr. Alderman in 2002.

Respectfully submitted,

Richard McDermott

Gregory W. Orlandella

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY SET FORTH IN THE COMPANY’S PREVIOUS FILINGS UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED, THAT MIGHT INCORPORATE FUTURE FILINGS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, THE REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION SHALL NOT BE INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE INTO ANY SUCH FILINGS.

Directors’ Compensation

The Company’s outside directors receive monthly cash compensation of $1,200 each, and may be reimbursed for certain expenses in connection with attendance at Board of Directors and committee meetings.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Compensation Committee was comprised of two directors, Mr. McDermott and Mr. Orlandella, who were neither officers nor employees of the Company.
